I'm not trying to be a dick here sir, but if you look up the numbers, women finish at a similar % as men....and that's in the history of WMMA.

The hate isn't truly warranted tbf.
Im no crusader over here but facts are facts boss man.

Was curious about this so did a quick bit of research. Women’s fights end in decision 62% of the time whereas men’s fights end by decision 44% of the time. Women’s divisions are also #1, 2, and 3 when it comes to highest decision percentage. Men’s fights ended in T(KO) 34% of the time while women’s fights ended in the same way at nearly half that rate at 18%.

Should be noted men’s mma has a much larger sample size and also covers a wider period of time in an evolving sport, so this could be a tad misleading. But taking all into account, men’s historically finish fights 18% more often which actually is pretty significant.

It’s damn good. Not as good as DP vs Gaethje 2, but still pretty damn good

Are you trying to be ironic? Because no they are not similar lol. Maybe similar to men’s divisions under 145, but nothing close in general
 
I hate when they stuff 2 title fights on 1 card makes the other cards suck

That's why I said similar, and like you said a bigger sample size and longer timeline.

What some women lack in power, skill they make up for in tenacity for the most part.
You also have outliers like the early UFCs where they actually let the guys fight to a finish etc etc.

Im not arguing with you sir, Im just saying.

It would be interesting to see like just the last 10 years for a better comparison. If that wasn’t such a massive task I would do it myself lol.
 
Why is everyone complaining about things that aren't even weird like a completely washed Lawler being on the prelims but no one bats a fucking eye at 2 completely unknown women being above Menifield vs Crute

I think Yair will give Volk a much tougher fight than people expect. Yair has improved so much, he has got a lot better and he is tricky.. Volk is not a good finisher at all, so because it will be a long fight Yair will have lots of opportunities and he not only has great striking and is very accurate but his submissions have improved a lot and is dangerous on the floor. Wont be surprised if this is a split decision type of fight and could go either way and it will be debated afterwards with tons of threads arguing lol. calling it now....

It’s still a bummer that Robbie is on the prelims for his finale fight

Bo Nickal on main in his 1st & 2nd UFC fight and Lawler on undercard. This is insulting to Robbie a legend and to the fans who’ve watched this legend for years. Why they made this decision is beyond me.
<{1-8}>

Lots of exciting names but I see a lot of squash matches. Yair will get grapplefucked, Du Plessis will be outclassed, Hooker is getting knocked out. Never heard of Nickal's opponent but I assume he's an easy matchup.

Over / under 1.5 fouls committed by Cameron Saimann? He's done either an eye poke, illegal knee or nut shot in both his UFC fights so far. :D Very talented kid aside from that though.

He's the Ric Flair of MMA.
